Morgan Sindall Construction<\/a> has been appointed to deliver a new five-storey \u2018superblock\u2019 academy in Newham for the Department for Education<\/a> (DfE)<\/h2>\n

Construction work is underway on a new five-storey \u2018superblock\u2019 academy in Newham, London.<\/p>\n

The new Oasis Academy Silvertown is being delivered for the Department for Education (DfE) and will cater for 600 students aged 11 to 16.<\/p>\n

The new building\u2019s design<\/a> incorporates social space across different levels and will feature a large sports pitch on the roof.<\/p>\n

A double-height colonnade will open up into the reception area, creating a light, bright entrance space for visitors to the school.<\/p>\n

The external walls will be folded to create a layered effect and warm white brickwork will be used on the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade<\/a> to complement the existing and new residential properties in the area including the nearby Grade II listed Silo D.<\/p>\n

Community at the heart of the school\u2019s design<\/h3>\n

Richard Dobson, area director at Morgan Sindall Construction, said: \u201cStaff and students at Oasis Academy have been eagerly anticipating the start of work on their new school building and we\u2019re delighted to be working with the Department for Education to help turn this vision into a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunity is at the heart of the school\u2019s design<\/a>, with education and social spaces spread across different levels to create a holistic learning and development experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis promises to be a transformational investment for the West Silvertown community which will provide hundreds of young people with a state-of-the-art learning centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cMorgan Sindall Construction is well versed in delivering major education projects and we\u2019re looking forward to working closely with the DfE and our partners to create a stunning new home for Oasis Academy.\u201d<\/p>\n
